#WorldImmunizationWeek 2024 marks 50 years since the Expanded Programme on Immunization #EPI began. This @WHO initiative has proved that eliminating disease is #HumanlyPossible. Yet, in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, many are deprived of immunization’s life-saving benefits due to conflict, climate-related disasters, population displacement… One of @WHOEMRO’s flagship initiatives is to make supply chains more efficient to enhance access to health care. Today, I call on governments, donors and other partners to join us in making these initiatives a priority. Help us overcome the barriers to health care and ensure that everyone has access to quality health services and products across the Region.
